The Rock of Twain Harte - Twain Harte (CA)

5 /5 Lori Sortino: Really excellent food and service. Lots of outdoor seating. Server submits order immediately on a tablet and food comes out very fast. We arrived at just before 6 and there lots of tables open. In the hour we were here, people piled in in droves. This was a Tuesday night in August.

5 /5 Anna Z: We came just for the Jalapeño Chompers. This dish puts an incredible twist on traditional poppers — it’s much larger, and instead of bread crumbs, it uses a fish-and-chips–style batter, which makes the outer layer even crispier. The center has spicy jalapeño and high-quality melted cheese with a hint of sourness. Dipped into their ranch sauce, it’s divine. I think they might have a small kitchen, though. It took about 40 minutes for our food to be served while the place wasn’t even full. However, it’s worth the wait.

4 /5 Olivia Brunett: Food was amazing. We ordered French dip sandwiches and though it took a long time for us to get our food...it was amazing. Its worth sitting and talking to your family or people watching. Wait staff is a bit inattentive...understand a game is on but checking in on all guests and not just the table of 5 men could mean the world to the guests wondering where their food is. With that said, Id still come here for the food. The food was THAT good.

5 /5 Bojan Marsicanin: We absolutely love this place! Whenever were in the Sierras, we make sure to come by. The atmosphere is always great, the burgers are fantastic, and they have an excellent selection of beers on tap. The thing that keeps us coming back is the jalapeño chompers—they are truly one of a kind. You absolutely need to try them!

5 /5 jake kersey: They have the best garlic fries and fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had anywhere. I would take better pictures but I ate it too fast to remember. BTW- sandwich was 3x what was pictured. I will always come back here on my way through.
